Jailed as an AccOmDlice.

May Garrett, an inmate ofa ~disreputable
house on Mercury street, was arrested at 2
O'Clock yesterday morning. She is the
woman with whom Debrovitch had been
intimate for a few days before he lost his
$1,145 in his South Butte cabin, and who
accompanied him to his cabin on the night
in question, as stated in The MINER. Evil
dence has since developed which connects
her with the disappearance Of the money
as an accessory. and she was yesterday
morning arranged before Justice
Dingevon and held in $4,000 to appear on
Saturday for preliminary examination on
the charge of completely with Miller in the
larceny. She admits that she left Debro-
vitch's cabin at about 9 O'Clock Saturday
morning. On that same morning Debro-
witch bad been piled with liquor in bed by
Miller after she left. The woman is in the
County Jail in default of bail.

DEATH in LOW NECK DRESSES.

Actresses Wear Them Because Excite
ment Makes Them Impervious to Cold.
~ see that some one has been trying to
head off the hue and cry against decollete
dresses, " said a well known theatrical man.
ager, as he toasted his toes on the steam
radiator of his comfortable office, "by
pointing to tho low necked dresses seen on
the stage and the general healthfulness of
the women who wear Them. Now, to people
who know nothing about stage life that point
would seem to be well taken. The dresses
worn on the stage arc usually as thin and
scanty as those worn by society bellies. The
exposure, too, is always much greater on
the stage than at any ball or party, because
the stage is full of draughts and chills, and
is not much better than a big, windy barn
anyway. Yet we never hear of an actress
taking cold from wearing her flimsy costume,
however delicate and frail she may be. 1t
seems hard to understand why her society
sister should be any more susceptible. Idon't
know how it is, but there is peculiar excite
ment about going on before an audience that
takes an actress safely through exposure that
would inevitably kill her anywhere else.
You see them coming out of their warm
dressing rooms on a cold winter night,
dressed in their thin, low cut and sleeveless
dresses. They stand about the wings wait
ing for their cues, and the keen wind blows
down their backs and they shiver pitifully
in the cold as though their teeth were going
to drop out. You wonder how the poor
creatures can get through their parts.
"But the instant they hear their cues there
is a kind of electric thrill runs through them
and they step out into the passage and never
feel a particle of cold. The wind may howl
around them hard enough to blow their wigs
off, and it may be cold enough to freeze the
E fiat trombone solid, but they don't know
it. Actresses have colds and die of con-
sumption, but they never catch cold or con-
tract consumption while they are in their
stage costumes. I know the case of a promis-
ing young woman of a good family who was
playing at a certain local theatre a few
years age She often wore decollete dresses
on the stage, but when she married and left
the stage career for society she was as well
as any woman in America. Two or three
years afterward she died of pneumonia con-
tracted at a ball where she had appeared in
a dress cut no lower than many she used to
wear on the stage. There was none of that
peculiar excitement that had warded off a
cold when she was acting, however, and she
died from the exposure. You see it won't
do to argue that women are safe at a ball
with low cut dresses because they don't
catch cold on the stage when they are so
attired. New York Mail and Express.
